Li Mei kept telling Xiaoxi about the main landmark buildings in the county.

She wants Xiaoxi to know more, she hopes that Xiaoxi will not stay in the countryside all the time, but enter the county seat, and it is better to take a step closer and enter the provincial capital.

The outside world is colorful, and unlike the countryside, black and white.

Xiaoxi is now old enough to go to elementary school, and Li Mei wants her to go to school in the county seat.

After all, education in the county is much better than in the countryside, but according to the regulations, children in the countryside are not allowed to go to school in the county seat now.

This made Li Mei frown for a long time, but recently Li Mei heard a piece of news.

In the local rural entrance examination, the top 10 children can enter the county primary school for free.

This is a kind of preferential treatment, which is equivalent to liberalizing the system that rural children cannot attend primary schools in county towns.

And there is no tuition fee, which is undoubtedly another reduction in expenses.

I heard that if you perform well in school and excel in school, you can get a scholarship.

Xiaoxi's grades have always been very good, but I don't know if I can get into the top ten in this entrance exam.

Li Mei was a little worried, but for Xiaoxi, she couldn't force her to study all the time.

Originally, Xiaoxi's father had just left, although Xiaoxi didn't say anything, Li Mei knew that Xiaoxi felt uncomfortable.

Now if you force Xiaoxi to study, you may be in the opposite direction, and the gains outweigh the losses.

As for whether she can pass the test, Li Mei is not too anxious.

Although the quality of education in rural areas is not as good as that in county towns, rural areas can also produce college students.

As long as you are willing to learn and work hard, you will have something to do.

"Xiaoxi, we have arrived, you see that there is a shopping mall in front of us. ”

Li Mei stopped and pointed to the large building complex in front of her.

"It's the largest shopping mall in the county, and the three-story building next to it is a supermarket, and further ahead is the Dongmen Market. ”

Li Mei took Xiaoxi's hand and walked forward quickly, the shopping mall was still a bit far away for Li Mei.

It's not that the distance is far, but that the price of the shopping mall is really unbearable for Li Mei.

A single piece of ordinary clothing costs more than 100 yuan, which requires selling 100 catties of kimchi to afford it.

This is not something that they poor people can enter at all, except for being looked at coldly by others, so she pulled Xiaoxi forward quickly.

But Xiaoxi is very curious about such a shopping mall, which is not only full of shops selling clothes, jewelry, etc.

There are also many snack bars, and there are also those who want to catch dolls, crane machines.

There are also toys that sell, there is her favorite Barbie doll, Ultraman fights little monsters......

But she didn't say she wanted these things, and she didn't beg her mother to buy them.

She knew that her mother had already bought her fried chicken thighs and hamburgers, as well as Coca-Cola.

I've spent so much money, and now it's disobedient to call my mother to buy something.

I looked nostalgically at the dazzling array of goods in the store and saw the promotional drawings in the mall.

Inside, the beautiful big sister is wearing beautiful clothes, and she is seeing the clothes in the store.

Turning to see the simple patched clothes on her mother's body, Xiaoxi had never had such a strong desire to get it.

How to get it, of course, is to have money, if there is no money, then there is no way.

At this moment, Xiaoxi has a strong desire to get more and more money.

Then she suddenly thought of her own eyes at this moment.

It seems that you can see things that others can't, so how can you get wealth with such an ability?

Xiao Xi racked her brains to think, although she didn't know how to use it for wealth right now.

But Xiao Xi vaguely knew that this ability might change her life.

And just recently, she noticed that her eyes seemed to have changed even more.

From time to time, when you see something, some description of the thing will appear inexplicably.

Xiao Xi couldn't help but be a little worried when she was happy.

Because this phenomenon of hers is completely beyond the reach of ordinary people.

If you tell your mother, you won't believe it, and even if you do, you may see yourself as an evil person.

In the countryside, those who are evil will be persecuted in all kinds of ways.

So Xiao Xi didn't tell this secret to the death.

This is her biggest secret now, possessing an ability that is beyond the ordinary.

"Xiaoxi, how about your mother make you braised pork tonight? ”

Li Mei said to Xiao Xi that Xiao Xi is absent-minded at this time.

nodded, "Mom, I can eat anything, there is cake here at night, there is no need to make anything else." ”

Li Mei shook her head, saying that she would buy something anyway, and Xiaoxi, who didn't have a father, would love her more much.

Walking into the Dongmen Market, it is full of vendors selling all kinds of ingredients, and of course, some fresh vegetables brought in by farmers.

Meat is a district, vegetables are a district, and fruits are another.

As for those condiments and pasta, it's in another section.

Li Mei walked straight to the meat area, she wanted to make braised pork for Xiaoxi at night, so meat was essential.

picked a piece of meat that was not bad, Li Mei deliberately bought a little more, Xiaoxi not only wanted to eat braised pork, but Li Mei was also ready to give Xiaoxi some copying hands.

Xiaoxi is still in the growth of her body, this body is her own, and her health cannot be affected because of lack of nutrition.

As a mother, Li Mei of course didn't want Xiaoxi to grow taller because of malnutrition.

It doesn't matter what she eats, she just eats to her heart's content, and Xiaoxi's father threw away a sum of money when he left.

It's not much, but it's more than enough to deal with their current expenses.

I spent thirteen yuan to buy a pound of pork, and then I was ready to leave.

Because there are vegetables at home, Li Mei doesn't plan to buy them.

Passing by the noodle shop next to it, the noodle shop is a place that sells noodles as the name suggests.

In fact, not only that, but the noodle shop also sells flour, hand skins, and dumpling skins and the like.

Li Mei bought another two catties of noodles and used up five yuan.

I also bought half a pound of hand-made leather and used one yuan.

"Xiaoxi, you see that you don't have anything you want to buy, I'll buy it for you at once. ”

"Today is your birthday, you have the final say," Li Mei said to Xiaoxi.

Xiao Xi shook her head, she didn't have anything to buy.

"Fresh eggs, fresh eggs, is there anything to buy, buy cheaply, only eight cents ...... each"

In the cold winter, there was an old man in ragged clothes in the corner, shivering from the cold.

The icicles hanging from the corners of his mouth seemed to indicate his helplessness.

"Mom, or let's go buy some eggs," Xiaoxi's sympathy overflowed.

She didn't seem to know that she was also in a vulnerable position, but Xiaoxi wanted to help people who were more difficult than her in the first place.

Without waiting for Li Mei to answer, Xiao Xi ran over directly.

"Grandpa, why are you selling here? instead of selling on the table inside?"

"It's so cold here," Xiao Xi said to the old man.

Li Mei hurried over and stayed by Xiaoxi's side.

"I don't have that much money to collect rent, my wife is still hospitalized, and now I don't have any money. ”

"She and I have suffered all my life for most of my life, and now I can't survive it, so I'll buy her some meat to make a good meal first. ”

"No, take out the eggs laid by the hens of the house, which is not more, only twenty in all. ”

"The others have to make up for my wife's body," an old man in his twilight years left his tears at this moment.

Forced by life, he was so helpless and helpless.

"Mom......" Li Mei looked at Xiaoxi, knowing what she wanted to say.

Although Li Mei is also short of money, she wants to be better than this old man.

The old man's face was wrinkled and furrowed, but there was always a determination in his eyes.

Li Mei could see that this old man must have been doing farm work all the time.

Otherwise, there would not be so many wrinkles on the hands and face.

Only long-term farm work will have such calluses and wrinkles.

"Eight cents an egg, you have twenty here, just sixteen," Li Mei said.

"Give you twenty yuan, and then this will be given to you," Li Mei handed a pound of meat in her hand to the old man, who needed this piece of meat more than herself.

Without consulting Xiaoxi, he gave the old man the pork that was going to be used to make braised pork.

She believed that Xiaoxi would not say anything, as for what to cook at night, that is, at night.

"Thank you, you are such a kind person," the old man's eyes glistened with tears.

The old man looked out, and the mother and son in front of him were also poor people in the countryside.

It could be seen from their clothes alone, which is why he was so grateful for their help.
